The Leisthaus, which houses the Hamelin Museum, is one of the most famous buildings in the Old Town of Hamelin and represents one of the most magnificent structures of the Weser Renaissance. It is located on Osterstraße directly in the pedestrian zone. It was built by Cord Tönis for the patrician and corn dealer Gerd Leist between 1585 and 1589. Parts of the richly adorned decorated facade, characteristic of the late Weser Renaissance, have been preserved in their original form. The painting of the wall surfaces with brick structure was carried out according to the findings of the last restoration.
